Motorcycle Corner Technique, I made…

Jul242020

I made some changes to my motorcycle corner technique and I thought I would share it with you this week. I no longer use the slow – look – press and roll technique to get around a corner. I have switched to trail braking on just about every corner I face on the road today.

Lets discuss it on the forums

“As great as MCrider’s YouTube videos are, it’s the knowledge base on the forum that really rounds out the full benefit of this unique educational/safety training opportunity.

I highly recommend joining for any type of rider, whether new or experienced.”

MCRider will change and possibly save your motorcycling life.

After a 15 yr break I decided to get back into riding, I’d never had formal instruction (dirt bikes as a kid) and it showed when I rode with my wife, who I had insisted get training. She was more technically proficient than I was because she had only learned the right way. I started watching videos and some were good some weren’t but when I found Kevin’s MCRider videos I knew I’d found the series of instruction I needed.

Within a few weeks of practicing skills from his YouTube channel, I decided I really wanted to support what he was doing and I became a Member of MC Rider and that unlocked a whole additional resource. If you're looking to improve your motorcycling skills in an extremely supportive community, you found the place.

The McRider videos and forum have underlined that practicing strategies and techniques to reduce close calls and keep the rubber side down is essential and is keeping me out of trouble. Thanks, Kevin, and keep ‘em coming!

Returning to motorcycling after a two decade hiatus, I didn’t even know the right questions to ask. As I immersed myself in my new owners manual, I had more questions. MCRider has established itself as the go-to web site for the developing rider in all of us. The first, most important lesson I learned from everyone is their desire for my success. In a world where too many are seeking another’s failure, failure on two wheels is a failure of the teacher AND the student. Every members thoughts an opinions are oriented towards success and safety for each other. Here I found the confidence to put my leg over a GoldWing and succeed in taming a potentially wild horse into an extension of my desire to ride well and see everyone on the road, wherever they may be. For now, I learn. Soon, I shall be the teacher because of MCRider.

Kevin, thanks for all the advice you have published along with others on youtube, I am 64 and with all the advice it has given me the great opportunity to be a better rider every time I am on the road! THANKS!

Hey Kevin. Just letting you know I’ve been watching and practicing your videos for 2 years. You saved my butt last night man. Typical story. Big deer just standing in road, 45 mph, emergency braking, started skidding, balance of front and rear brakes and allow bike to do what it does to come to controlled slow. Keep it up sir. You’ll never know how many lives you saved because the wreck never happened.

Thanks for the great tips. I've only been riding a few months, and could have avoided the one spill I had if I'd watched more of your videos beforehand!
